Even before Petergate, the cynic in me has always thought that the whatever-athon is there so the judges can "manipulate" the standings without it being too obvious to the viewers.

This ploy has been going on for years now and TPTB must think we are really thick if they don't know that we know EXACTLY what's going on.

I expect Peter to do very well, but I doubt we'll see much of it as the camera angles will protect him.

Do we know if they will mark at the end of the QSathon or if they knock people out? I hope its the former.

When they say the floor do they mean Elstree Studios? Because as I got it it's not big enough even for one couple to quickstep there, let alone 7?!

I hate these 'athons. Too much going on at once and the camera's always pointing you to whatever you don't want to watch. Ideally you'd have a big overview (like the judges have), so you could try to compare them. Instead you get snatches of one couple for a 20 seconds, and then another. To be honest, I'd rather sit through another guest artist and pro dance than this.

Is it not the same floor that the pro's use for their group numbers ? If so, plenty of space for 7 couples. They will all have a different start position so will all move anti clockwise.

I am really confused now. Do they have two floors? Do they move the audience then for the Saturday and Sunday recordings?

It's my favourite ballroom dance so I'm a bit put out by the thought of the carnage!
Though no doubt it will be hilarious! Jay and Peter are at a disadvantage as they have to lead and avoid, as well as remember what they're doing too. Jay looked very concerned when Kevin said it would be carnage! |

Think that's the PTB intention - good TV.
